In 10 years I visited Grenoble 100 times and sampled many hotels. The Park is one of my favorites for business visits. I like the staff at the reception and the restaurant who welcomed me nicely (even the first time). Dinner is served up to midnight, convenient if you have to work late. There is a choice of light and gastronomic food. Overall the service is very professional.
There are wide differences between rooms : a few are still a bit old fashioned and that might have been the reason of some poor reviews on this site. But most of them, and definitely all "luxe" are refurbished with large and clean bathroom / showers. On two occasions I was upgraded to a suite which would be perfect for small business meetings, although I did not need that. Internet is charged but TV is free.
Arrival is direct from the Chambery motorway and transportation has improved after several years of road works for the new tram. Parking spaces are reserved for the hotel (not enough). The reception will let you park overnight in front and offers valet-parking ( I used it once when in a hurry). The town is now improving the park Mistral, but, I would expect a better place to go jogging in the morning.
Improvements could include a fitness ( poor point for all Grenoble hotels), CD/DVD or iPod connection. And yes, it’s a bit pricey 4* but not a boutique hotel with stylish design.
